Good afternoon,

I’ve just installed Frog on Windows w/ IIS and PHP/MySQL, and everything appeared to go smoothly. I’ve verified that there is data in the tables, and my front end appears to be operating as it should.

When I go to http://my-local-test-environment/frog/admin, I get the login form. However, when I attempt to login, I am presented with a blank error page – Error 405, page cannot be displayed.

The URI is: http://my-local-test-environment/frog/admin/?/login/login

Thank you for any help.

Hmm…. IIs seems to be an issue for some.

Could you have a look at the last post in this thread and see if that helps at all?

It would help to know, too, what versions of IIs, PHP, and mySQL you’re running. Just in case!

David,

Thanks for the quick reply.
That maybe the root, but I’m not sure. This URI:
http://local/frog/admin/?/login
Works fine.

It’s only when it attempts to call http://local/frog/admin/?/login/login that I get the 405 error.

Replacing “?” with “index.php?” simply redirects me to http://local/frog/admin/?/login with the following error:

Login failed. Please check your login data and try again.

An http 405 error is very rare. This essentially means you’re not allowed to do something by the server. Judging from your description, in combination with the 405 message, I’d say your ISP won’t allow HTTP POST access.

All 405 errors can be traced to configuration of the Web server and security governing access to the content of the Web site, so should easily be explained by your ISP.

Contact your server administrator.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I am the server admin ;)

Also, I’m not sure that the server is blocking HTTP POST, as the same environment is also currently running Expression Engine with zero problems. However, I will take a look at my configuration and see what I come up with.

Thanks.

Ah okay :-)

Are you sure its a 405 then? Because the message “page cannot be displayed” is not something I’d associate with a 405. Then again… are you using IE? If so.. you’d be best of turning off “Show friendly HTTP error messages” in the Internet options -> Advanced tab. (really nasty thing that..)

Nope. Testing in Firefox, heh. I’ll double check the message and get back to you.
